A fake Facebook page was being spread on social media hours after the news broke, but it's not real. It was a page, not a profile, and it kept posting after the news of the shooting broke. The page has since been deleted.

The police did not release any information about the shooter that would suggest motive or affiliation to any groups. Police said on Monday: "This was not racially motivated, it wasn't over religious beliefs."

On Monday, authorities said the shooting was the result of a "domestic situation," and that the shooter had sent "threatening texts" to his mother-in-law, who attended the church where the shooting took place.

Websites started picking up this baseless misinformation soon after the shooting on Sunday.

A post in the Santa Monica Observer said the shooter is a "Muslim convert" who changed his name to "Samir Al-Hajeeda," citing a tweeter named "Mustachio." However, that same name was used for a fake suspect in the Las Vegas shooting.
